Re: How do you start your won secret society
Wed, July 20, 2005 - 9:00 PMHunt down these books
Bluff your way into the Occult (from the Bluffers Guide series)
The Big Book of Conspiracies
I think Bluff your Way into the Occult is out of print, but you can still find it on the internet...It mercilessly mocks various fake religious and big scams that have been carried out from time to time. Also, in a humourous
style, it shows how you can bluff your way as a someone with
"occult powers" by showing the correct respect for your wand, how
to refer to books that no-one bothers reading and the principles
of making up all kinds of divination...
The Big Book of Conspiracies is just plain required reading...

Re: How do you start your won secret society
Thu, July 21, 2005 - 10:56 AMCheck out the Church of the Subgenius and the Discordians (both of whom have at least one tribe each here): while their main bent is satirical, there's valuable stuff hidden between the lines... IMHO the latter especially.
Cell-based models are ideal in that they prevent the otherwise inevitable issues of stratification/hierarchization and partisan politics.
I suppose in the end though, it depends on the *reason* you want to start a secret society. Just ask Jim Jones... -

Re: How do you start your won secret society
Sun, September 4, 2005 - 7:44 AMThe first step to creating a secret society of your own would be to NOT make a posting like the one you have. lol If youre actually serious just find people of like mind and have fun with it. If you are delusional enough to think your secret society would ever hope to compete with the powers that be perhaps you need to drop some LSD to get you back in touch with reality. : )

Re: How do you start your won secret society
Wed, January 18, 2006 - 1:46 PMFirst, get some secrets. Everybody steals from the Masons so go for it!! Make up a very old story about your lineage, create your own mythos. Have a secret handshake, a secret sign and lapel pins.
Make a degree system so you can have hazing.
Don't tell anybody. Charge dues. Imply sexual gratification as a result of membership. Hire people to write shadowy, unspecific stuff about your org and circulate it heavily.
REVEAL NOTHING!! -

Tue, April 18, 2006 - 2:17 PMLapel pins are a very stylish way to say youre hiding a secret. Maybe a mystical animal like a pheonix, a unicorn or a narwhol. Dont laugh... they are vicsious. And unlike me they are masters of spelling and grammar.

Re: How do you start your won secret society
Tue, July 10, 2007 - 1:18 AMI have my own Secret, how ever, its so secret, I forgot what it was myself. So it really is a secret now, (even from me) so there must be some pretty powerful stuff stuffed away, sitting there generating more power or sending its all knowing vibes out to me, and some how with it, I am affecting everything around me. Just like a conduit.
Its no surprise that even mundane philintrophic organizations have their own secret handshakes and penalties when they meet, to add the allure to people who think, wow, I want to join them, they have secret handshake, oooh thats cool.
What would be the attraction to joining a boring quilting circle if everyone had a secret on what it was they were actuallly sewing, and only one of the people knew what it was, then once the quilt came together , the secret would be revealed...ah the toture...but tell your friends about your torture and how the secret of the quilting circle is suppose to keeping you at bey and questiong for an answer, it would make the most mundane thing, like a quilting circle seem like the most exotic thing you could take part in....No Mystery? No interest! -
